EASY PUMPKIN​ ROLL With Walnut and Cream Cheese Filling

As far back as I can remember, eating or making any dessert with pumpkin is nowhere in my growing up memories, until I had them in an English bakery during my first visit to London.

Oh! I can’t forget the delicious flavor, of the cream cheese roll made out of a pumpkin, and realized that I’ve been missing out on pumpkin cake rolls with rich and creamy cheese fillings my entire life!

Even though I never tried making one, and managed with the store bought ones in those crinkly aluminum tins topped with a dollop of the partially frozen cool whip. Not exactly the tastiest version!. Off late, when I discovered that what a stress buster baking is, I just fell in love with baking and treating my friends. Every other day I used to try out something new during my afternoon tea time with friends.

Most of the time I try make our meals healthy and yummy. But, with the season of pumpkin and Christmas ahead how can one not make one.This recipe immediately brings back fond memories of my London visit. Moist and flavorful with the warm spices of the autumn, creamy, nutty with the bite you have. Incredibly easy and irresistible. You just can’t have one!
